We all had more fun then we thought, I am so glad I decided to go. I was told all night long that I looked like belle from beauty and the Beast. I loved it :D

UpDate!

Hey!
Well Saturday Mitch, Blaine, Heather, Corey, Casey, Mitchells mom and Coreys mom and I went to the Horse Track for Mitchells Birthday ( oh and for all the people who dont know Mitchell is my boyfriend, and Blaine is my bestfriend and maid of honor :D lol) becuase we can well most of us can bet now... We all had lots of fun and some of us *cough* Blaine *cough* won more money then we showed up with lol. We all started out with 20 dollars and Blaine left with 50... and I left with 14..I was on a Roll for the first three races but then I kinda dropped off til the 8th race, Well I found a horse with a GRRRRREAT! name in the third race it was called Kendallsluckycharm, So OF course I bet on the horse to show ( to show is to place 1st 2nd or 3rd) and my way for pickin a winner is to look at the name and if I think the horse looks cute then I will bet on it lol
Well I was soooo much fun and I dont think I will be going back anytime soon

DONE!!!

So I have been stressing about the presentation I had to do for school for months. But today I presented my portfolio to members of the community. I wasnt bad at all. I was kinda fun. NOW I CAN GRADUATE!!!! lol And The presentation is supposed to be 12 minutes long. Well mine was a wee bit longer, I started at 9:45 and ended at 10:20. So I guess once you get me going its hard to get me to shut up. Well now the only thing left to worry about are finals! And that will be easy!

Update!

So we made it home in time for me to watch the Superbowl! well I'm not so excited now that I know the out come. (Sad times for the Cardinals) Oh well there is always next year.
So camping was SO fun! I'm glad I went. It was super cold (the exact opposite of our family in Australia) But we had a fire going pretty much 24/7 ( or 31 as I like to say lol) The beach was gorgeous, and really wet.. Who knew ?? :D

So I cut my hair yesterday. I kinda started having a panic attack as I saw the girl cut the first huge chunk off. I made a noise that apparnetly starttled her, because she asked whats wrong, I just told her it was a little harder then i thought it was going to be. I told her to keep going no matter what I said. And the front desk girl came back and cheered me on. I love it! It looks amazing!!!! I need to find the cord to my camera then I will put them on here. Oh I measured how long it was about 6 1/2 inches!!! Crazy!

So many changes this year. My hair, changing classes, applying to college, and graduating in June. I cant wait!!!

Dun Laoghaire

Today me kendall and kim went to Dun Laoghaire (pronounced Done Larry) It was super fun. But it was friggin cold. My sniffer stopped working lol (in case you dont know how to speak Courtney the "sniffer" is your nose) And I think Kim just really wanted to be like me today cause her sniffer stopped working too... OH!!! And my left shoe he was very talkative today.

SO I am heading home back to Washington tomorrow. I am looking forward to coming back for another BIG Ireland trip.

My first pub experience

Well today my dad and Kim took me to the pub. Because here in Ireland its legal for me to drink. And the sad thing is even when I ordered mine and Kims drinks they didnt ask for my ID. So if they think you look old enough they wont ID you. Crazy Irish.

This is me going to order my first Guiness

This is me trying my Guniess. It was a little wierd at first but it was ohkay. And if mom your reading this I am not going to be an alcoholic.

And about an hour or so later I finished. Oh and the TV had like this crazy concert on it. We think it was a New Kids on the Block concert but they were singing other peoples songs. Eh... then we walked back home. Kim swears that I was swerving but Mitch, Baline if your reading this you know that I cant walk in a straigh line to save my life. lol So me and kim walked back up to the take out place next to the pub to get chips ( fries) and mushrooms. YUMM!!!!
